This April 4 the Town of Peshtigo (TOP) residents will have a choice! This election will determine whether the TOP moves forward, into the future of positivity and growth. This election is NOT THE TIME FOR A CHANGE OF LEADERSHIP. A few items that this board has accomplished are positive and measurable:
Town Board Meetings: from 24 to 66 in the past 22 months.

I, Gary Larsen, am a candidate for the Peshtigo School district Board of Education. For nearly twenty years I have given my time and dedication to the betterment of the Peshtigo School district as a board member. Prior to joining the board, I was involved in a facilities improvement committee. In this expansion we worked with the construction company and created six additional classrooms, doubling the initial plans.

Is the USA more violent? If you watch the news and political ads, you would likely answer yes but what does the evidence say. My sources are The FBI records, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Bureau of Justice Statistics as part of the Census Bureau’s annual National Crime Victimization Survey. In these sources, the rate of violent victimization dropped from 79.8 per 1,000 in 1993 to 16.5 per 1,000 in 2021.

We would like to express our support for Jennifer Friday for Town of Peshtigo Chairperson, Clarence Coble for Supervisor 1 and Jimmer Wortner for Supervisor 2. Jennifer has been very honest and forthcoming with information to Town residents through her Facebook group Town of Peshtigo Community and worked very hard at getting information from our current Town government.

A recent Facebook video made a false statement that I would like to address, specifically that the current Town Board lowered your property taxes by 1.5%. The Town Board did NOT lower anything! Property taxes paid to the Town went down because of tax limits put on by State government in 2006 which froze the amount of tax dollars the Town could get from its residents. The State allows a % increase each year based on a formula that takes into account growth within the Town.

In a recent Eagle Herald letter to the editor, Town of Peshtigo (ToP) Water Committee member Jeff Lamont claimed his “jaw hit the floor” upon reading Jennifer Friday’s bio and her statement that no one wants to be forced into annexation or off their well, when she is the person who has “threatened” part of the plume with annexation. We have since submitted a response to the Eagle Herald in response to Mr Lamont, but feel your readers also need to be aware.

There were only 5,613 votes cast in Marinette County in the Spring Primary last month. With the great importance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, I hope this is not indicative of what the voter turnout will be for the upcoming election on April 4th.  Justice Dan Kelly follows the law and our constitution. This is what is needed to protect our state. There is too much at risk for voters to stay home on election day. The WI Supreme Court race is being watched nationally.

The countryside may still be covered with snow, and some roads are still covered with ice, but it is officially Spring. The calendar says so!

That said, snow, ice and whatever else the sky can produce keeps coming down every now and then. Real Spring, with green grass, blooming flowers, and shirt-sleeve weather,  is probably still a month or so in the future. Like it or not, we’ll just have to wait.
